Top 10 all-time favourite movies

Not that being superior to MoSen is an achievement, I've seen piles of vomit on the railway station floors with better opinions than this guy.
If I were THAT consistently shit with my opinions I'd be a lot more humble, it must be hell living with a personality like that, thinking you kick facts when really you're just a mong.

Unbreakable
Shawshank Redemption

The Seventh Seal
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
2001: A Space Odyssey
...

Got to watch a 35mm print of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly at The New Beverly Cinema (Quentin Tarantino's theater) in IB Technicolor. My fiancee and I were the last two people to get tickets. It was awesome. This is the same theater where I saw The Thing earlier this year. What an experience

 

[CiG]

Carpernter's The Thing? God damn that would have been a fucking amazing experience!

 

[unknown]

Yeah it was pretty awesome. The crowd was full of Thing heads too, so it was great

 

[Einherjar86]

The Thing on a big screen would be very cool.

I saw 2001 on a big screen a couple years back. The MFA was having a Kubrick festival and I made it a point to go that night. Fucking awesome.

I'm sorry to bring this back up (it was mentioned a couple pages ago), but I actually think Brad Pitt's acting at the end of Se7en is good. I realize I am likely in a minority here, but I never found it funny.

 

[rms]

I never did either, I think Se7en is a fantastic film

 

[CiG]

Brad Pitt didn't bother me at the end either.

 

[no country for old wainds]

love THE THING so much.

i don't particularly care for SE7EN but i like brad pitt when he's not phoning it in.

 

[Eligos]

See here...

Lord of The Rings (I will just count it as one)
Fight Club
I Heart Huckabees
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Pi
Memento
What Dreams May Come
Waking Life
Se7en
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

 

[crimsonfloyd]

It's hard for me to really say, but some of my facorites are:

Godfather I and II
Alien, Aliens and Alien 3 (haters gonna hate)
Halloween
The Shining
A Clockwork Orange
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Silence of the Lambs
Star Wars IV and V

Lucas films

 

[CiG]

You no likey?

 

[Dak]

Dude is hack and his films are mostly derivative pieces of shit.

 

[rms]

They really don't stand the test of time. He did bring over some Kurosawa films to the states when he was a youngin', so I guess he gets a pass.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Of course they pass the test of time. They could sell out just about any theater in the country with these movies today, almost 40 years later.

 

[rms]

I really think the first 3 Star Wars films are really, really bad, once I became an adult. Financial success isn't one of my parameters of "standing the test of time," but that was ambiguous.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Dak, go watch THX 1138

Dude is hack and his films are mostly derivative pieces of shit.

this just reeks of douche

 

[Dak]

Dak, go watch THX 1138

this just reeks of douche

Not liking a poor writer/director are "douchey" qualities now.

Long term financial success is an indicator of the series's ability to capture the minds of a significant portion of society, which shows that the series has, for society in general, stood the test of time. Perhaps the films haven't for you in particular, but that doesn't mean much.
